Lee Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I really like how if you leave the car alone long enough....it repairs itself. My PowerMaster lll brake system failed in October leaving me with very minimal braking. I tried bleeding several ways and each time I still had no pump power (I removed the fuse after each try in case pump was air bound or jammed up). I plugged the fuse back in again today and "Yeah Baby!!" the pump kicked in and power brakes again. I lost brakes last winter when the pressure switch stuck and the pump wouldn't shut off. (had to unplug the fuse and let the pressure run down over time, then plug in to pump up again.) That one self-repaired in 12 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiirt Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I shocked my car when boosting it and i fixed my heater. Shit just works out for the best sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 The best is when you're about to sell one of these cars, you let it sit for 2-4 weeks not starting it once. Suddenly it runs + shifts better, suspension feels smoother....brakes better...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm hoping my tranny will fix itself. Seriously after a couple months if there are no metal shavings in the pan I'll be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 What I love most about these cars is not only do they fix themselves..but often an easy fix is to pull the fuse on the ecm and put it back in lol.. - Jeff L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 is it that they fix themselves or just that last joyride in your baby ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokemBokem Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Fuck mine never fixes itself. I always have to pay shitloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 :withstupid: It seems like I always am doing something. I left my car for 6 months w/o starting and what did it leave me a battery that I had to get. Damnit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 My solution is mentioning the problem to someone else. As soon as I open my mouth, or threaten it to the junkyard, most of the odd problems disappear. No shittin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it now, (talking to car) "If you blow this trans again your going to the fucking yard." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 haha I haven't had to talk to this one much. My '89, however, we had daily pep talks. It never wanted to start, would die whenever it wanted, etc. I'd always say "If you don't fuckin start, I'll drag you right to the junkyard"... then it would start. And once it started, I'd say Good... now I can DRIVE you to the junkyard! Typically, the trips would be problem-free then. After I cut its roof off, the stupid POS ran flawlessly... Kinda pissed me off, as the whole reason I cut the roof off is because it always ran like crap. DoH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I have pep talks with my car too. LOL. Junkyard threats always seem to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I once kicked the shit out of my car after she let me down and knocked of the little plastic Monte Carlo signature piece/ also left a nice dent in the passenger fender :cuss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Damnit! Why can't the problems with my cars fix themselves? I always have to put a shitload into them just to get it running right.. Say, does anyone want to buy a non-running Talon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 my car knows its loved, but if it acts up too much i'll threaten it with junkyard talk. hell i'm the only reason its not in the junkyard now... so it better be good to me.
